Toy giraffes are poorly painted cheap toys. Well, at least the
cheap ones I am willing to shill out for. So they need a complete
makeover, including the hide, head, and spots.

That where this "custom brush" technique comes in. Just roll
up a piece of paper and dab on your spot color over your
base color.

I found that using a stamp motion was a lot easier to control than
trying to use a fiddly little brush to make spots again and again
and again in a consistent, yet organic looking manner.

Here's the outcome. I think the spots appear to be consistent, '
yet still have the variety of looking realistic.

And here's my new team of 13 Giraffe Men!

I worked a bit on getting the heads to swing about in all directions.
I think this gives it a good, active herd look. Completely realistic
with respect to all identified giraffe like humanoids in the known
galaxy.

And this is the pinning technique I used to make the alien plant
tree trunks from the giraffe bodies.
